I had the chance to test the boat for a weekend.
There was not much water in the Eifel and the Ardennes this weekend, so I only made a small creek on the last water of a heavy afternoon rain and a session at the local playspot.
I wrote a article for german online-mags with some detail-photos, you find it here:

In short words: Tough I'm used with rafts, I didn't trust the concept of a inflatable creek boat.
But after the two days I was quite sure, that this boat is a good one. It feels nearly like a "real" pe-kayak, but like a big one like a riot magnum or a dagger nomad. Eddies can be catched easy and surfing and using the edges is like you know it from every other (big creek-) kayak
The seat needs some detail-work, the roll isn't easy because the boat is very high.
The boat is surprisingly stiff.
The price is high- without doubt. But it's also without doubt no boat for Guil, Cure and Herault, but more for expés in South-America, Asia or the upper-upper-river-parts in our regions, which are only reachable in expeditionstyle.
For general use like most of us do kayaking it's not worth, but if you have a real transportproblem for example in airplane or bus the Jump isn't wrong.
Sorry for writing in english....
